Æ19 - Nero ΣΕΡΟΥΗΝΙΟΥ ΚΑΠΙΤΩΝΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΙΟΥΛΙΑΣ ΣΕΟΥΗΡΑΣ ΑΚΜΟΝΕΩΝ, ΕΠΙ ΑΡΧ

Julia Severa, named in this coin's magistracy inscription alongside Servenius Capito, is one of the more unusual figures in provincial numismatics: a high-ranking Acmonean woman who held the office of archon and simultaneously served as head of the local Jewish community's synagogue — a combination that has generated considerable scholarly debate about the nature of civic religion in Phrygia under the early Principate. Her appearance on a civic bronze issued in Nero's name is not merely honorific. She was active, named, and apparently powerful enough to share the magistracy credit on an official issue.
